interesting synopsis as this was exactly what we found. the little guy were
using FCP because that is what they learned on . . and they were all
working for peanuts, however the 11 bigger houses we visited used avid, let
alone the NAB nyc meeting i spoke of in an earlier thread that was avid.
i also watch the credits a lot and see avid continually although i have yet
to see a FC anthing or even apple in the editing credits. but i do keep
looking.
